Leading institutes double German economic growth forecasts for 2026
Several leading German economic think tanks on Thursday announced they had increased their earlier GDP growth forecasts for the country.
New numbers now predict an uptick of 1.3% for 2026, more than double that of spring forecasts of 0.6% growth.
In their so-called "Autumn 2026 Joint Economic Forecast," this year titled "Recovery Under Structural Stress — Fiscal Policy on Slippery Ground," five institutes — the German Institute for Economic Research, the IfO Institute, the Kiel Institute for Global Economics, the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research Halle and the RWI-Leibniz Institute for Economic Research Essen also adjusted their economic outlook for 2027, predicting 1.1% growth.
The picture looks less rosy in 2028, when GDP is expected to slow to just 0.4% growth.
